Coconut Crunch Cake Recipes

COCONUT LOUISIANA CRUNCH CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit.
• Whisk together the cake flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
• In another bowl, cream the butter until it is creamy and almost white in appearance.
• Add in the sugar. Beat an additional 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing in each egg completely before adding in another.
• Mix in the sour cream and extracts.
• Add the flour alternately with the buttermilk, mixing gently (or on low speed) just until combined. Do not overmix or the cake will not be soft.
• Grease with shortening and dust with flour a 12 cup bundt cake pan (or use our cake release).
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar into the bottom of the pan. Shake the pan slightly so the sugar coats the sides of the pan as well as the bottom.
• Sprinkle shredded coconut evenly in the bottom of the pan.
• Pour the batter into the pan and use a spatula to make sure is is even.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Allow the cake to cool for just 5 minutes in the pan, then loosen the edges and turn it out onto a cake plate to cool completely.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, and extracts.
• Add heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until it is the consistency you'd like.
• Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. If the cake still warm, the glaze will melt and run thin. It's a matter of preference as far as how you want it to look.
• Note: This makes a lot of glaze. If you'd like less glaze, make 1/2 a recipe. This will save calories as well.
